When I Grow Up
8pm, Channel 4
A heartwarming new series in which primary schoolchildren from varied backgrounds are taken into the world of work for a week, to show them the possibilities that exist in spite of Britain’s low levels of social mobility. First, they’re at Hello! magazine, with keen reader and writer Isabella in charge of putting together the week’s features. However, on a high-pressure photoshoot, tension builds between a precocious member of the group and another who lacks the same inherent confidence. Hannah J Davies
Our Dementia Choir with Vicky McClure
8pm, BBC One

9pm, BBC Two
Only one more episode to go in Ryan Murphy’s bewitching tale of New York ball culture (don’t worry, season two is on the way), and the foundations give way beneath the House of Abundance and Elektra’s dreams come crashing down around her. Laugh or cry, it’s absolutely fabulous. Plus Stan will go to the ball. MB
EasyJet: Inside the Cockpit
9pm, ITV
It might seem odd to recommend a second series of what is essentially a branding exercise for Britain’s biggest airline. Yet a combination of gently entertaining narration by Stephen Fry, access to what really goes on in the cockpit and a reassuring explanation of in-flight turbulence make this actually worth a look.

There’s Something About Movies
9pm, Sky1
Never mind the recent Blockbusters reboot, here’s a blockbuster quiz, hosted by Alan Carr and starring teams of actors and standups keen to display their film knowledge. The phrase “from the makers of A League of their Own” suggests this one might not be for the Cahiers du Cinéma crowd. Graeme Virtue
My Extreme Drugs Diary
10pm, Channel 5
This doc lays bare the bleak reality of life on heroin, from the “high-functioning” addict who holds down a graphic design job to the desperate shoplifter who injects directly into his groin. Identity-obscuring masks add an element of surreality, but no one could accuse Channel 5 of glamorising hard drug use. Ellen E Jones
Film choice
Thor: Ragnarok 1.25pm, 10.25pm, Sky Cinema Greats
Chris Hemsworth’s thunder god shelves the bickering with duplicitous brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) to take on long-lost sister Hela, goddess of death (Cate Blanchett), who has returned to lay waste to Asgard. Aside from the apocalyptic battles, it’s the humour that truly triumphs. Paul Howlett
